Chinese herbal medicine commonly used in Dragon Boat Festival

Main chemical components and efficacy of the varieties used:

① Folium Artemisiae Argyi, also known as Folium Artemisiae Argyi and Artemisia argyi, is a compositae plant. Its stems and leaves contain volatile aromatic oils.

Its unique fragrance can repel mosquitoes, flies, insects and ants and purify the air. Chinese medicine uses wormwood as medicine, which has the functions of regulating qi and blood, warming uterus and eliminating cold and dampness. Processing Artemisia argyi leaves into "moxa wool" is an important medicinal material for moxibustion treatment.

(2) Acorus calamus, a perennial aquatic herb with long and narrow leaves containing volatile aromatic oil, is a medicine for refreshing, invigorating spleen, relieving diarrhea, killing insects and sterilizing.

(3) Artemisia annua: The whole plant has fragrance, and the volatile oil contained in it accounts for 0.3 ~ 0.5% of the whole plant. The main components are eucalyptus oil essence, ancient camphor and so on. Artemisinin can be extracted from whole grass, clearing away heat and toxic materials, and inhibiting the growth of bacteria. As far as the climate in May of the lunar calendar is concerned, it is a good medicine for preventing and treating diseases.

④ Dragon Boat Flower: This flower is just like the red flower worn on the dragon boat head during the Dragon Boat Festival, hence the name. This kind of grass is cool and has the effect of clearing heat and cooling blood.

I especially recommend it.
